Run Baby Run Lyrics
Love can be so strange
Don´t it amaze you?
Every time you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you
Love´s an elusive charm and it can be painful
To understand this crazy world
But you´re not gonna crack
No you´re never gonna crack
Run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
Life can be so cruel
Don´t it astound you?
So when nothing seems too certain or safe
Let it burn through you
You can keep it pure on the inside
And you know what you believe to be right
So you´re not gonna crack
No you´re never gonna crack
Run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
Find out who you are before you regret it
'Cause life is so short there´s no time to waste it
So run my baby run my baby run
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
Don´t it amaze you?
Every time you give yourself away
It comes back to haunt you
To understand this crazy world
But you´re not gonna crack
No you´re never gonna crack
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
Don´t it astound you?
So when nothing seems too certain or safe
Let it burn through you
And you know what you believe to be right
So you´re not gonna crack
No you´re never gonna crack
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run
'Cause life is so short there´s no time to waste it
Run from the noise of the street and the loaded gun
Too late for solutions to solve in the setting sun
So run my baby run my baby run

Shirley is telling someone about how cruel life can be, and it can get harder, but don't let it break you.
"Everytime you give yousrself away, it comes back to haunt you." This means that once you let someone in or trust someone with something very important, they can backstab you and throw it all in your face. It makes you want to give up and break, but she's telling the audience to run, to not let it get the best of you.
"When nothing seems certain or safe, let it burn through you." That's my favorite line from the song. It's saying to not be so cautious, take some chances and let go! If it's dangerous, don't think "what if this happens, what if that happens, something could go wrong".. she's saying to hell with it, go through with it anyway.
I think this song's meaning is pretty obvious: When it gets too tough, just take what you learned - don't let it get you down - and just run away. It's kind of a cowardly way of life, but some people (like myself) just can't handle anymore pain, so they run. "Find out who you are before you are before you regret it because life is so short; there's no time to waste it" is basically Shirley's way of justifying the "running". She's basically saying, "Why sit around and put up with more pain when you could be moving on to find what you're looking for?". Beautiful song.
This song makes me sad & happy at the same time everytime I hear it. Awesome song. =3333
this song is about teenage runaways
i just got hooked on this song. i think i might have to go get their cd when it comes out tomorrow, if only for this song.
I heard this song once and had it stuck in my head the rest of the day. Love it love it love it
i think this song's about trying to hold onto ideals that you have when you're younger despite facing despair.. "you can keep it pure on the inside, and you know what you believe to be right". parts of the song seem kind of sarcastic though, like it's impossible to be so pure. love it!
what a mess. dont run away from love and the mess gets left in the wake of life. i reckon that although this song is saying run, it's only telling a story thru the eyes of someone who runs away from love and life and their problems but the middle 8 really is saying... dont run, you only have one life and tough as it is, we all go thru it and we all make it at the end of the day. so dont run run baby run run baby run. face up to things. we'd all be much happier xxxx

I listened to this song when I had a breakup and it clearly seems to be about that to me. It's definitely saying that don't let the hurt make you into a bitter person and to learn from the mistake instead of repeating it.
